    Abstract:
    The article generalizes the experience in treating 137 patients with diseases of the stomach and duodenum. The largest group included 82 persons with peptic ulcer; 45 had carcinoma of the stomach; 5 had benign tumors of the stomach, and 5 persons had chronic duodenal obstruction. The most common concurrent disease was cholelithiasis (102 patients), it was diagnosed before the operation in 70% of patients with peptic ulcer and in 85% of those with carcinoma of the stomach. Among the less predominant diseases were abdominal hernias (12 patients), cysts of various localization (7), varicosity (3), chronic appendicitis (3), atherosclerosis obliterans (2), ect. Organ-preserving operations were carried out as the main stage of surgery in most patients with peptic ulcer. The nature of the simultaneous operations corresponded to the concomitant surgical diseases. Most of the operations (125) were performed through a median laparotomy approach; superior median laparotomy was mostly resorted (115 patients). Four (2.9%) patients died after the operation. It is pointed out that patients with gastroduodenal diseases must be thoroughly to reveal concurrent surgical diseases.
